Who are the LTELs? What about ELs who have been redesignated as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) who struggle to compete with their native English-speaking peers?

LTEL Task Force Definitions A Long-Term English Learner (LTEL) is an English Learner who has been enrolled in US schools for 5 years or more who has not yet reached English proficiency as measured by the CELDT and proficient on the STAR ELA (CST, CMA). A Redesignated Long-Term English Learner (RLTEL) is any EL who has met district criteria for reclassification but has not yet scored proficient or above three times on the STAR ELA (CST, CMA).

Why the focus on RLTELs?

LTEL Task Force RLTELs are to be monitored for 2 years and will continue to be counted in the EL subgroup for AYP accountability until they have score proficient 3 times (do not have to be in consecutive years) on the CST ELA. With SDAIE and ELD services withdrawn, many struggle to succeed in mainstream settings.

What is the purpose of the Long-Term English Learner (LTEL) Task Force?

Long-Term English Learner (LTEL) Task Force Mission Statement: The mission of the LTEL Task Force is to identify sustainable systems from the county level to the classroom that support best practices in meeting the linguistic and academic needs of ELs, LTELs, and RLTELs to prepare them for graduation from high school well prepared for college and the workforce.

In considering the LTELs in your district, a few points to ponder…

Long-Term English Learner (LTEL) Task Force • Based on the CDE’s and RCOE’s definition, at what grade level might an English Learner first be identified as a LTEL? • What are the educational implications for LTELs in your district? • What are the implications for your district with regards to API, AYP, and Title III accountability?

Long-Term English Learner (LTEL) Task Force • Currently researching LTEL and RLTEL issues in Riverside County to support schools and districts in addressing the needs of LTELs and RLTELs. Contact information: • Russ Frank, Director rfrank@rcoe. us • Kris Nicholls, Coordinator knicholls@rcoe. us
